PLEASE NOTE
All teams will be using their Spring 2025 Rosters when participating in the 2025 Brooklyn Queens World Qualifiers and / or Tri Cups.  These tournaments are technically an extension of the Spring Session.  This the same every year for all APA teams across the Nation, Canada and Japan.  

Teams that advance to Vegas to play in the 2025 World Pool Championships will also be playing with their Spring 2025 Rosters in Vegas!  Your summer 2025 roster will have no effect on these tournaments or Vegas as the summer always marks the start of a brand new league year for the awards for 2026.  This means you can register for summer and change your roster and IT WILL NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON YOUR BQWQ or TRI CUP participation at all.  


 TOURNAMENT RULES APPLY

Rosters with eligible players and starting skill levels will be posted by Thursday May 29 2025!
